Genome editing offers revolutionized solutions for plant breeding to sustain food production to feed the world by 2050. Therefore, genome-edited products a
Potato cyst nematodes (Globodera spp.) are microscopic worm-like pests. They feed on the roots of potato, tomato, eggplant and other plants from the Solanaceae family. Root damage causes plants to be stunted, with delayed flowering, yellow leaves and wilting, andeventually kills the plant. How...
For example, predators eating herbivores indirectly influence the control and regulation of primary production in plants. Although the predators do not eat the plants directly, they regulate the population of herbibores that are directly linked to plant trophism. The net effect of direct and ...

Molecular phy- logenetic studies indicated that this species is the only extant member of the sister group to all other living flowering plants (APG 2016), and its lineage has been estimated to be at least 160 Ma, in the Early Cretaceous (140–180 My ago) (AmborellaGenomeProject 2013)...
Give two reasons why bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics when they are in a biofilm. What are the morphological types of bacteria in microbiology? What does it mean for a bacterium to be "antibiotic resistant"? In your opinion, what factors have led to the d...
